Recently as many of you now know Drake has come out and acknowledged he is gay. He has also aligned himself with Bullying.org to lend his voice to put a stop to bullying and hopefully put an end to the senseless suicides of teens worldwide who have been bullied because of their sexual orientation in life. His latest video which contains a tribute to Ottawa teen, Jamie Hubley – “On My Way To Finding You” has received 15,350 views on youTube at this time. And the video is being widely accepted throughout Canada, United States and around the world. In fact, the video was the topic of discussion on News Talk 98.7 out of Knoxville, Tennessee!
